Mary Nguyen article
editHi, just been reading this. I felt a bit confused reading it, like I wasn't entirely sure what she was notable for. Ms. Nguyen's legal and journalism career certainly sounds like it might be notable - but is there more coverage of her in media beyond that one LA Times article? If it's the focus of the article, it should be covered in prose (and in the lead of the article), not in bullet points. I can see that being the first Asian-American to win a pageant is certainly getting there, but it hardly sounds like enough to meet WP:PERSON, the criteria for whether someone's notable enough to have a Wikipedia article on them - her professional career should surely be a focus for the article. (Good way to decide if someone's worth a whole article, in my experience: focus on the first sentence. Write the best one you can. Will someone read it and want to read more? Not that I'm the best at following that rule.) Sorry for asking, but I just have a feeling this article might get deleted unless there's more sources available about her.

I'm also concerned about this, are there other sources available to verify the awards listed? LinkedIn bios are not generally considered reliable sources. I'd try to add some here, but "Mary Nguyen" is very common name so it's hard for me to verify quickly which sources might be helpful. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:21, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
